Due to an unsigned cast, adjtimex() returns the wrong offest when using
ADJ_MICRO and the offset is negative. In this case a small negative offset
returns approximately 4.29 seconds (~ 2^32/1000 milliseconds) due to the
unsigned cast of the negative offset.
This cast was added when the kernel internal struct timex was changed to
use type long long for the time offset value to address the problem of a
64bit/32bit division on 32bit systems.
The correct cast would have been (s32), which is correct as time_offset can
only be in the range of [INT_MIN..INT_MAX] because the shift constant used
for calculating it is 32. But that's non-obvious.
Remove the cast and use div_s64() to cure the issue.

Several places call ip6mr_get_table() with no RCU nor RTNL lock.
Add RCU protection inside such helper and provide a lockless variant
for the few callers that already acquired the relevant lock.
Note that some users additionally reference the table outside the RCU
lock. That is actually safe as the table deletion can happen only
after all table accesses are completed.

The multicast route tables lifecycle, for both ipv4 and ipv6, is
protected by RCU using the RTNL lock for write access. In many
places a table pointer escapes the RCU (or RTNL) protected critical
section, but such scenarios are actually safe because tables are
deleted only at namespace cleanup time or just after allocation, in
case of default rule creation failure.
Tables freed at namespace cleanup time are assured to be alive for the
whole netns lifetime; tables freed just after creation time are never
exposed to other possible users.
Ensure that the free conditions are respected in ip{,6}mr_free_table, to
document the locking schema and to prevent future possible introduction
of 'table del' operation from breaking it.

Offset into the page should also be considered while calculating a physical

Recent kernels cause a lot of TCP retransmissions
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd
[ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 2.24 GBytes 19.2 Gbits/sec 2767 442 KBytes
[ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 2.23 GBytes 19.1 Gbits/sec 2312 350 KBytes
^^^^
Replacing the qdisc with pfifo makes retransmissions go away.
It appears that a flow may have a delayed packet with a very near
Tx time. Later, we may get busy processing Rx and the target Tx time
will pass, but we won't service Tx since the CPU is busy with Rx.
If Rx sees an ACK and we try to push more data for the delayed flow
we may fastpath the skb, not realizing that there are already "ready
to send" packets for this flow sitting in the qdisc.
Don't trust the fastpath if we are "behind" according to the projected
Tx time for next flow waiting in the Qdisc. Because we consider anything
within the offload window to be okay for fastpath we must consider
the entire offload window as "now".
Qdisc config:
qdisc fq 8001: dev eth0 parent 1234:1 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p \
buckets 32768 orphan_mask 1023 bands 3 \

low_rate_threshold 550Kbit \

For iperf this change seems to do fine, the reordering is gone.
The fastpath still gets used most of the time:
gc 0 highprio 0 fastpath 142614 throttled 418309 latency 19.1us

where "xx_behind" counts how many times we hit the new "return false".

When phy_ethtool_set_eee_noneg() detects a change in the LPI
parameters, it attempts to update phylib state and trigger the link
to cycle so the MAC sees the updated parameters.
However, in doing so, it sets phydev->enable_tx_lpi depending on
whether the EEE configuration allows the MAC to generate LPI without
taking into account the result of negotiation.
This can be demonstrated with a 1000base-T FD interface by:
# ethtool --set-eee eno0 advertise 8 # cause EEE to be not negotiated
# ethtool --set-eee eno0 tx-lpi off
# ethtool --set-eee eno0 tx-lpi on
This results in being true, despite EEE not having been negotiated and:
# ethtool --show-eee eno0
EEE status: enabled - inactive
Tx LPI: 250 (us)
Supported EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised EEE link modes: 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Fix this by keeping track of whether EEE was negotiated via a new
eee_active member in struct phy_device, and include this state in
the decision whether phydev->enable_tx_lpi should be set.

copy_from_sockptr() does not return negative value on error; instead, it
reports the number of bytes that failed to copy. Since it's deprecated,
switch to copy_safe_from_sockptr().
Note: Keeping the `optlen != sizeof(unsigned int)` check as
copy_safe_from_sockptr() by itself would also accept
optlen > sizeof(unsigned int). Which would allow a more lenient handling
of inputs.

The first error message in device_id_check() is obscure and can be
misleading because the cause of the error is unlikely to be found in
the struct definition in mod_devicetable.h.
This type of error occurs when an array is passed to an incorrect type
of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().
[Example 1]
static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
{ "FOO" },
{ /* sentinel */ },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, foo_ids);
Currently, modpost outputs a meaningless suggestion:
ERROR: modpost: ...: sizeof(struct of_device_id)=200 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_device_table__of__<identifier>=64.
Fix definition of struct of_device_id in mod_devicetable.h
The root cause here is that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) is used instead
of the correct MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...).
This commit provides a more intuitive error message:
ERROR: modpost: ...: type mismatch between foo_ids[] and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...)
The second error message, related to a missing terminator, is too
verbose.
[Example 2]
static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = {
{ "FOO" },
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, foo_ids);
The current error message is overly long, and does not pinpoint the
incorrect array:
...: struct acpi_device_id is 32 bytes. The last of 1 is:
0x46 0x4f 0x4f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
ERROR: modpost: ...: struct acpi_device_id is not terminated with a NULL entry!
This commit changes it to a more concise error message, sufficient to
identify the incorrect array:
ERROR: modpost: ...: foo_ids[] is not terminated with a NULL entry
Lastly, this commit squashes device_id_check() into do_table() and
changes fatal() into error(), allowing modpost to continue processing
other modules.

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pnp_card, ...) may have duplicated IDs. For
instance, snd_ad1816a_pnpids[] in sound/isa/ad1816a/ad1816a.c includes
multiple occurrences of the "ADS7180" string within its .devs fields.
Currently, do_pnp_card_entries() handles deduplication on its own, but
this logic should be moved to a common helper function, as drivers in
other subsystems might also have similar duplication issues.
For example, drivers/media/i2c/s5c73m3/s5c73m3.mod.c contains duplicated
MODULE_ALIAS() entries because both s5c73m3-core.c and s5c73m3-spi.c
define the same compatible string.
This commit eliminates redundant MODULE_ALIAS() entries across all
drivers.
[Before]
$ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/media/i2c/s5c73m3/s5c73m3.mod.c
MODULE_ALIAS("i2c:S5C73M3");

The generic ->do_entry() handler is currently limited to returning
a single alias string.
However, this is not flexible enough for several subsystems, which
currently require their own implementations:
- do_usb_table()
- do_of_table()
- do_pnp_device_entry()
- do_pnp_card_entries()
This commit introduces a helper function so that these special cases can
add multiple MODULE_ALIAS() and then migrate to the generic framework.

This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:
- ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
- 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")
Commit ac551828993e inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():
else
strcat(alias, "*");
This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.
Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:
MODULE_ALIAS("*");
This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.
Commit ac551828993e introduced another bug.
Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:
if (eisa->sig[0])
This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.
However, commit ac551828993e changed it as follows:
if (sig[0])
sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.
The correct conversion would have been:
if ((*sig)[0])
However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.
This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

In fact, the --debug output shows that git traverses all or most of
history. For some repositories and/or git versions, those 1.3s are
actually 10-15 seconds.
This has been acknowledged as a performance bug in git [1], and a fix
is on its way [2]. However, no solution is yet in git.git, and even
when one lands, it will take quite a while before it finds its way to
a release and for $random_kernel_developer to pick that up.
So rewrite the logic to use plumbing commands. For each of the
candidate values of $tag, we ask: (1) is $tag even an annotated
tag? (2) Is it eligible to describe HEAD, i.e. an ancestor of
HEAD? (3) If so, how many commits are in $tag..HEAD?
I have tested that this produces the same output as the current script
for ~700 random commits between v6.9..v6.10. For those 700 commits,
and in my git repo, the 'make -s kernelrelease' command is on average
~4 times faster with this patch applied (geometric mean of ratios).
For the commit mentioned in Josh's original report [3], the
time-consuming part of setlocalversion goes from

Replace lz4c with lz4 for kernel image compression.
Although lz4 and lz4c are functionally similar, lz4c has been deprecated
upstream since 2018. Since as early as Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 25, lz4
and lz4c have been packaged together, making it safe to update the
requirement from lz4c to lz4.
Consequently, some distributions and build systems, such as OpenEmbedded,
have fully transitioned to using lz4. OpenEmbedded core adopted this
change in commit fe167e082cbd ("bitbake.conf: require lz4 instead of
lz4c"), causing compatibility issues when building the mainline kernel
in the latest OpenEmbedded environment, as seen in the errors below.
This change also updates the LZ4 compression commands to make it backward
compatible by replacing stdin and stdout with the '-' option, due to some
unclear reason, the stdout keyword does not work for lz4 and '-' works for
both. In addition, this modifies the legacy '-c1' with '-9' which is also
compatible with both. This fixes the mainline kernel build failures with
the latest master OpenEmbedded builds associated with the mentioned
compatibility issues.

This reverts commit 54babdc0343f ("kbuild: Disable KCSAN for
autogenerated *.mod.c intermediaries").
Now that objtool is enabled for *.mod.c, there is no need to filter
out CFLAGS_KCSAN.
I no longer see "Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!"
error with KCSAN when loading a module.

Currently, objtool is disabled in scripts/Makefile.{modfinal,vmlinux}.
This commit moves rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S to scripts/Makefile.lib
and set objtool-enabled to y there.
With this change, *.mod.o, .module-common.o, builtin-dtb.o, and
vmlinux.export.o will now be covered by objtool.

This rule is unnecessary because you can generate foo/bar.symtypes
as a side effect using:
$ make KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 foo/bar.o
While compiling *.o is slower than preprocessing, the impact is
negligible. I prioritize keeping the code simpler.

Unless an explicit O= option is provided, external module builds must
start from the kernel directory.
This can be achieved by using the -C option:
$ make -C /path/to/kernel M=/path/to/external/module
This commit allows starting external module builds from any directory,
so you can also do the following:
$ make -f /path/to/kernel/Makefile M=/path/to/external/module
The key difference is that the -C option changes the working directory
and parses the Makefile located there, while the -f option only
specifies the Makefile to use.
As shown in the examples in Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst, external
modules usually have a wrapper Makefile that allows you to build them
without specifying any make arguments. The Makefile typically contains
a rule as follows:
KDIR ?= /path/to/kernel
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(CURDIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS)
The log will appear as follows:
$ make
make -C /path/to/kernel M=/path/to/external/module
make[1]: Entering directory '/path/to/kernel'
make[2]: Entering directory '/path/to/external/module'
CC [M] helloworld.o
MODPOST Module.symvers
CC [M] helloworld.mod.o
CC [M] .module-common.o
LD [M] helloworld.ko
make[2]: Leaving directory '/path/to/external/module'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/path/to/kernel'
This changes the working directory twice because the -C option first
switches to the kernel directory, and then Kbuild internally recurses
back to the external module directory.
With this commit, the wrapper Makefile can directly include the kernel
Makefile:
KDIR ?= /path/to/kernel
export KBUILD_EXTMOD := $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
include $(KDIR)/Makefile
This avoids unnecessary sub-make invocations:
$ make
CC [M] helloworld.o
MODPOST Module.symvers
CC [M] helloworld.mod.o
CC [M] .module-common.o
LD [M] helloworld.ko

When Kbuild starts building in a separate output directory, it generates
a wrapper Makefile, allowing you to invoke 'make' from the output
directory.
This commit makes it more convenient, so you can invoke 'make' without
M= or MO=.
First, you need to build external modules in a separate directory:
$ make M=/path/to/module/source/dir MO=/path/to/module/build/dir
Once the wrapper Makefile is generated in /path/to/module/build/dir,
you can proceed as follows:
$ cd /path/to/module/build/dir
$ make
